Common Questions
Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes.
How do I find arrest records in Oviedo?▼
Arrest records in Oviedo, Florida (Seminole County) come from two sources. The Seminole County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) at https://www.seminolesheriff.org runs the John E. Polk Correctional Facility at 211 Bush Blvd, Sanford FL 32773 and posts the daily inmate booking list — Records phone 407-665-6650. The Oviedo Police Department at https://www.cityofoviedo.net/186/Police handles arrests inside city limits — Records (407-971-5700). Arrestees are transported to the SCSO jail. Booking photos, charges, and bond amounts are public under Florida Sunshine Law (Ch. 119 F.S.) within 24-48 hours, with active-investigation redactions per §119.071(2)(c). Court filings on those arrests: Seminole County Clerk of Court at https://www.seminoleclerk.org and statewide CCIS at https://www.flccis.com. FDLE statewide criminal history is at https://www.fdle.state.fl.us/Criminal-History-Records — $24 name-only, $37 with FBI. Sealed/expunged arrests are removed under §943.0585. Submit public-records requests under Ch. 119 F.S. with description and contact info.
How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Bay?▼
Outstanding warrants in Bay County, Florida are checked through the Bay County Sheriff's Office Warrants Division at https://bayso.org/warrants. The Warrants Division enters all felony warrants into BCSO's Records Management System, NCIC, and the FCIC/FDLE statewide system. The statewide FDLE Wanted Persons database is at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf. For a personal warrant check, call BCSO Records Division at (850) 747-4700 or visit 3421 N Highway 77, Panama City FL 32405; staff will not confirm by phone but you can ask in person. Many people instead retain a Florida attorney to clear the warrant before walk-in to avoid arrest. Active misdemeanor and traffic warrants also appear on the Bay County Clerk of Court case search at https://www.baycoclerk.com. Federal warrants are not in the local system — check US Marshals at https://www.usmarshals.gov/wanted. Quashing a warrant in Florida requires a motion to the circuit or county court under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.730.

The MCSO Warrants Unit enters all felony warrants into NCIC, FCIC, and the FDLE Wanted Persons database at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf (publicly searchable).

Local police departments (Ocala PD at https://www.ocalafl.gov, Belleview PD, Dunnellon PD) feed warrants into MCSO's system. Calling about your own warrant: staff will not confirm by phone, but you may ask at the Records counter — many people retain a Florida criminal-defense attorney to clear the warrant before walk-in to avoid arrest. Federal warrants: US Marshals at https://www.usmarshals.gov/wanted. Quashing requires a motion under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.730 to the Marion County Clerk.
